Manual of Terror
Nuclear Plants, Monuments Are Good Targets for Attack, Al Qaeda Manual Says


I S L A M A B A D, Pakistan , Feb. 1 — The instructions are simple but chilling: Attack sites with "high human intensity" like skyscrapers, nuclear plants and football stadiums. Pick targets of "sentimental value" like the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower.

That's some of the advice to members of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda fighters on the best ways to kill thousands of people and spread fear in the United States and Europe. It's contained contained in the 11-volume "Manual of Afghan Jihad."


5,000-Page Manual of Terror

"There must be plans in place for hitting buildings with high human intensity like skyscrapers, ports, airports, nuclear power plants and places where large numbers of people gather like football grounds," the chapter said. It also recommended major public gatherings such as Christmas celebrations.

The manual said special units should work in areas with large Jewish communities. "In every country, we should hit their organizations, institutions, clubs and hospitals," it reads. "The targets must be identified, carefully chosen and include their largest gatherings so that any strike should cause thousands of deaths."

Hmmm. This is all spooky. Does it sometimes feel like your watching a movie and your seeing all the people going about their business before the disaster happens. I feel that way during the day when I take my pug for his walk and I watch the people around me. I think my mind is tripping because I keep reading this thread. I hope so.

I saw the same form of formulas or codes or whatever they are again two nights ago. This time there three or four. They were each at the bottom of a something that looked like a film negative. However, I don't remember the numbers.

I am still trying to figure out jassens. I know jassen is some sort of scandanavian game. I have recently noticed some posts on this thread referencing the Netherlands. If anyone reading this knows how jassen is played please let me know.

Hope our "Manual of Anti-Afghan Jihad" covers all of their points and then some!
